I just got this brand new dropper post installed by my LBS, it is KS brand, but I’m not sure the exact model. When I put my weight on it, it will compress a few centimeters without touching the lever and when I do compress it with the lever it slams down much harder than I’m used to. This is my first dropper post with adjustable air pressure so maybe this is just a normal thing that I’m not used to? The pressure is currently around 300 psi.

Drop her post compresses without pressing lever?

  1. The cable tension might be too high, if there’s a barrel.adjuster on the lever screw it in until it doesn’t drop under your body weight without pressing the lever.

  2. New suspension dropper post; no need for levers anymore let the seat gently kiss your ass from below 😉

    Provided they supplied and installed it then It doesn’t matter what’s wrong with it, it’ll be under warranty.

  4. What model is it? KS does make a dropper that also has some suspension to provide a more comfy ride. That may be the model the shop gave you.

  5. i’m not sure about pressure and things like that but mine did this and i just had to adjust the barrel a little bit and it stopped 😆
